Server Monkey

Clearly, you can see that NGINX holds up like a beast. HAPROXY is pretty nice too, but if you're focused on running a wicked fast and stable website I would place my bets on NGINX and having a decent network infrastructure.

Great video! I did really like the background music hahah made me laugh.

I do agree with you, NGINX is my main choice on all my installation. Light, stable and powerful, what else do you need? There's a lot of Apache-fans and I understand, it may be the first webserver that you installed by yourself (I'm looking at you LAMP!), and don't get me wrong, apache is great but unnecessary powerful sometimes...

Well nginx! You are able to do everything you want to mitigate layer 7 ddos attacks and simply block common ones (wordpress, joomla, ghp etc.) in 6 lines. When ever you receive an attack on apache, change to nginx and setup everything. You will never get any problems.
